DIDuEgIlLTuE CzAR'sFATHER
A NihiIist Shot for whom n Reward
WAS offered.

A Tampa Ella. telegram says: Word
has reached the police authorities here
TO be on the lookout for two fugitlyes
wanted at Fort Myers for killing Gus
tave Chucar, an alleged Nihilist. The
men wanted are II. o. Russell, former
lyof Madison, Ind, and bis son Dudley.
For three or four years an island near
Fort Myers has had for hermit-like
resident, Gustave Chucar, said to be
fugitive Russian Nihilist, who has made
admissions which leave little doubt that
he was implicated in the plot which
ended in The murder of the father of
the present Gar In fact, Chucar ex-
hibited Russian papers in which re-
ward was offered for his capture.
Upon his arrival in the States Chucar
took possession of the island with the
owners consent, built hut, and pre-
vented all persons from landing. He
always went well armed and had cou-
pie Of rifles hung on the wall
Last week Mrs. W. G. Yeomans sold
the island to Mr.. Russell. Yesterday,
with her husband, she accompanied the
RusselIs to the island TO persuade
Chucar TO leave it. Upon learning
their mission he threatened TO kill any
one who attempted to dispossess him.
During the parleying young Russell
and Mr.. Yeomans got between Chucar
and his weapons, and Russell snatched
up one of the rifles, which was dis
charged, killing Chucar instantly. The
Russells fled, and Yeomans and his wife
returned to Fort Myers. They claim
that the shooting was accidental. 1t is
rumored that papers making important
Nihilistic revelations are among Chu-
cars effects

OAMDEN'S FIGHT.
Conceded That Camden will DO Elected
Eenator-How II Will be
Mansged.
Tspccl,l ,olerram % The Dispatcb.i


CHARLESTON. W. Va, April 27.-In
the Senate to-day Senator Sommeryille
offered resolution to the effect that it
was the duty OF the Legislature to elect
a senator at this session. The resolu-
ton goes over one day. In the House
MIR. Hamilton called up his resolution
designating the Sd Of May as the day
to begin ballotting for senator. The
result will not be announced until to-
morrow.
A resolution limiting the speeches on
the appropriation bills to five minutes
was adopted. This is move
looking to the rushing OF business
in order TO get through before the Sd
of Nav. The business, however, can
not be finished before that day, and
Camdens election is generally con-
coded on the first or second ballot.
The anti Camden Democrats are no
more favorable to him than formerly,
but three Republicans announce their
intention to vote for him on the first
ballot. Three more will vote for HIM
on the second, and twelve have said
they would absent themselves on the
day a vote is taken, which would make
70 present, and, as it takes only ma
iority of those present and voting TO
elect, the three Republicans, together
with the thirty-seven Camden Demo
Gratis, would give Camden a majority
of one on the first ballot, or four on the
second ballot. The Camden Demo
Gratis, with Camden's approval, have de-
cided that in case Camden could not
be elected to nominate Judge Faux
her, who would receive the support OF
the kickers, but the action of the Re
publictns relieve them of this neces
o;ty

Charges-A sad Community.

(By telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
ST. LOUIS, April 27.-A special from
Ozark, Mo, says Yesterday afternoon
the grand jury returned eight bills, in
which forty -four KnObbers were charged
with assaults and unlawful meetings.
Some of the parties are charged with
FIVE different offences, and the total
will reach at least eighty. Only three
of the parties have as yet been arrested.
John Hiles is indicted in three cases
for attending Bald-Knob meetings, and
his brother in one case. NJ. 4. Hubble
is indicted in two cases, one for adj
ministering the lash. Bail is fixed ut
$3.50 for each charge. All the indict-
ments are for whipping, intimidating,
and pouring out Chadwick whiskey.
The grand jury has another lot of in
dictments to be reported on adjourn
ment, which it is expected will take
place to-day. The prosecuting attorney
says there Will be seventy-fiye Bald
Rnobbers indicted on about 200
charges. Some very important wit
nesses and several influential citizens
supposed 10 be under the ban have sud
denly left the county.
This is a sad community. Old men,
reverends, deacons, doctors, and the
like are selling their LIES accumula-
tons to raise sum to retain lawyers to
defend their misguided sons. The law
yers' harvest will be rich, but it will
nearly bankrupt the community. The
trials are set for the fall term of the
court, the first men indicted for Eden's
murder having pleaded not guilty.
